President Donald Trump had a heated meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy in the Oval Office, where he criticized Zelenskyy for his approach to the Russia-Ukraine war. Trump accused him of risking global conflict and suggested he was not in a strong negotiating position. Despite the tense exchange, Trump announced plans for a significant economic agreement with Ukraine, which would involve U.S. backing for Ukraine's reconstruction and security. The deal would allow the U.S. to access Ukraine's natural resources, which Trump emphasized are valuable for American interests. Zelenskyy, who is in Washington to secure support against Russian aggression, remains firm on needing specific security guarantees in any agreement. This visit marks his first meeting with Trump, contrasting with his previous visits during the Biden administration.
